CS 1704 Announcements - Fall 2002

Course Grades

I've posted the final course grades. Read the description given
there. I've filtered out the students who did course withdrawals, so
you'll have a better idea what the overall final distribution was. A LOT
of you need to seriously review deep copy logic before you take CS 2704.

It was fun!
Have a great break, and I'll see some of you in 2704 in the spring. Just
an observation, not a threat ;-).

Final Exam

The final exam for CS
1704 was on Friday, December 13 from 10:05 to 12:05 (am) in Torgersen 2150
(the usual place).

Fifteenth Week Announcements

[December 11]

There was an
error in the key for Test 2. I've reposted the
key for Test 2 on the Koofers page and posted
updated grades on the Grades page.

[December 10]

Fourteenth Week Announcements

[December 3]

I've updated the Koofers
page to include some sample second tests. As always, the coverage is
somewhat different and so is the philosophy.

[December 2]

Test 2 will be
given on Thursday December 5; the test will cover everything through the
material on algorithm analysis. Sorting will NOT be included.

Demos for Project
4 will begin with the TA office hours today. I've posted signup sheets
in McBryde 116 again. Note that all demos must be completed by the end
of the TA office hours on Wednesday December 11. Projects that have
not been demoed will be assigned a score of zero. The TA assignments
are:

Sourabh Pawar

aawilso1 to ghall

Bharath Ramesh

juchoi to yaxu3

Cheryl Stinson

giellis to jstratto

Thirteenth Week Announcements

[November 20]

I've posted some
more data files for Project 4. I don't consider the posted data to be
a comprehensive test of the specified behavior. You should make sure
that you do some serious testing in addition to the posted data.

Twelfth Week Announcements

[November 12]

I've posted a
second, minor revision. Echo the names of the script and log files at
the beginning of the log.

I've posted a
minor revision to the Project 4 specification. I'm adding a
requirement that you number the commands in your output log; that will make
it easier for the TAs (and you) to examine the log.

Eleventh Week Announcements

[November 6]

I've posted a
minor revision to the Project 4 specification. The log file in the
original version contained some obsolete, and incorrect data about the size
of the stack.

[November 3]

I've posted the
signup sheet for Project 3 demos outside McBryde 116. The TAs are
assigned the following PIDs:

Homework 2 is now
posted on the Homework page. It's due at
class on Thursday or at the TAs office hours on Friday afternoon.

I've posted a
slight revision of the specification for Project 2. The changes are a
correction of a typographical error on the second page, and a ban on using
dynamic allocation. The second change is primarily motivated by the
need to avoid any shallow-copy problems in this assignment.

Fourth Week Announcements

[September 19]

[September 17]

Second Week Announcements

[September 4]

I've posted
additional test data for the first Project, and corrected a label in the
output that wasn't to specification.

[September 1]

The TA office
hours are now posted on the main course page.

[August 31]

Note for students
with AP CS background: the use of non-Standard language extensions,
such as APstring and APvector, is expressly banned in our courses.
Standard C++ includes alternatives, many of which are superior.

First Week Announcements

[August 29]

I've updated the
specification for the first project to correct a few typos on the last page.

[August 28]

I've posted a
draft of the first program specification. There won't be any major
changes, but I won't claim it's free of typos or oversights at this point.

[August 23]

All force add
requests for CS 1704 will be handled by the Department of Computer Science,
not by the course instructor. Students wanting to force add the course
must attend the first lecture and submit a completed force add form.
See the CS Department statement on force adds for more information.
